The New York Philharmonic Club,
which BY so high an authority as the
American Art Journal is considered the
standard chamber music organization
OF America, has been induced BY some
OF our lovers of good music to visit
New Ulm on their tour through the
west and favor us with two of those
concerts which have delighted immense
audiences in Buffalo, Detroit. Chicago,
Milwaukee and ether large cities. The
Philharmonic Club consists of artists of
the very highest order and is pro-
nounced by the Art Journal s'the
strongest combination of soloists vet
brought together in one organization. y
Richard Arnold, violin, is native of
Prussia, but came to this country when
but ten years of age. Subsequently he
returned to Germany, where as stu

sic he was for several years under the
instruction, of Ferdinand David, the
great disciple of Spohr, and achieved
many a triumph in the famous Gewand-
haus concerts. Upon his return to
this country, Mr.. Arnold was engaged
as solo violinist in the famous orches-
ira conducted by Theo. Thomas.

Leipzig conservatory. Mr.. Hermann

high G of the soprano. two con-
certs will be given at Turner Hall, Sat-

and II. The programme before us at
this writing is that for Saturday even

lovely symphonies of Haydn, the father
of symphonic music. This Third Sym.
phony in G was arranged for chamber
music by the composer, and will be
rendered as sestet. Next there will
be a yioloncello solo, then song (.'The

piece (''In the Sunshine''). The Sec
ond part of Saturdays programme is
heavily laden with classical gems. 1t
begins with a quartet by Schubert, Va
riations in D Minor. 1t is worthy of
note that this will be the first string
quartet ever heard III New Ul7n, and
will prove revelation to those who
have never had an opportunity of lis

struments that is possible in music.
The key will add its strange but magic

Nine. Tanner will follow with the IA

from Mozart's opera Idle ZauDerfoe-

the celebrated Largo by Hendel, the
great master Of the oratorio, followed by
an allegro composed by Ierschak.
Schumann's Evening Song'' and
Turkish March, by Beethoven,

Schubert Will then be sung by Nine.
Tanner, and the concert will close with
the rendering by the Club of rhapso-

sition that affords some insight into the
style Of that great representative Of the
romantic school in music. The pro-
gramme for Sunday evening will be an
entirely different one, but equally at
tractive. We believe that none of our
readers will regret attending both con-
certs. An opportunity to hear music of
such high character may not pre-
sent itself again in years.
